Balancing Life in Your “War Zones”:

A Guide to Physical, Mental, and Spiritual Health

LeAnn Thieman

In 1975 LeAnn Thieman was “accidentally” caught up in the harrowing adventure of the Vietnam Orphan Airlift. Her goal was to save lives, including that of her newly adopted son. But there were no guarantees: Bombs were exploding outside the city as Saigon fell. Each chapter of Balancing Life in Your “War Zones”: A Guide to Physical, Mental, and Spiritual Health narrates LeAnn’s exciting story and draws life lessons the reader can apply to any situation. After reading this manual of self-care and happiness, men and women who feel overworked and overwhelmed will have the hope, determination, and skills to:

  • Make good decisions in their own “war zones”
  • Manage their time so they can truly live their priorities
  • Reduce their stress and cope better with conflict
  • Create the lives they want to live

Share in our celebration of the lives of adopted children who found forever families and parents who found forever love. Chicken Soup for the Adopted Soul will touch your heart with stories about finding and creating a family. From stories about international orphaned babies, to children who spent years in the foster care system, to those who were adopted at birth, this very special compilation conveys the true meaning of unconditional love.

Take pleasure in stories of infertile couples who are given the gift of parenthood, adopted children who thrive and find joy in life, and older couples given a second chance at family. Chicken Soup for the Adopted Soul provides insight into what adoption is all about, and what it’s really like to be adopted.
